Brutal.
It seems that they did this before the kimmel show, or did really good to hide any evidence of a sliced nose
Dave just seems very ...um, worldly. I think that's the right one. The VH's are perfectly happy to just play while roth has monkey hour.
That being said, I was relieved at this performance, as well as kimmel. His voice is rough, gravely but he seems more conscious of himself and backs off before he loses it but my fuck why does he have to even try at this point? Sing the goddamn melody and not make up some soprano nut squeezing horse shit!
However, based on these performances, if the first couple of rounds in the tour go off with a good start then I will most definitely go see 'em. I wasn't too happy last time around - I took a buddy who couldn't have been any more of a statue and basically didn't have enough money after purchasing the $150 tickets and $30 tour shirt to get properly drunk, call a cab and retreat to a hotel and bang.
Anyway... I agree with both sides of the fence on this one.
Dave at least makes it seem like he knows what he's doing, confidence and swagger and all, and at the end of the day, dave is still fucking cool. At the same time I wish that someone would beat him upside the head and tape him to a chair and force him to watch his 2007-08 performance, clockwork orange style.
2008 was a real party. Blimps, goofy props and giant inflated microphones which he then jumped on and made phallic suggestions with, and a pretty damn cool breakdown to panama with the "harley" sounds - what the fuck happened to that shit?Comment

I guess my biggest problem with these latest ventures of Van Halen, are Dave's seeming inability to care as much about the legacy, as I do. He seems more interested in making it a caricature of itself, than he does about honoring it. Dave is performing like it's all about Dave, and little about the songs. If he truly cared as much as I do, he'd have spent the last couple of years of idle time, doing whatever it took to perform these songs the way they should be performed. If he put half the effort into the songs, that he puts into his fucking dog, Japanese culture, and tattoo's, he'd be able to act as goofy as he wants, and still respect the songs, and be respected by the fans. Unfortunately, he'd rather act like the game show host, than the singer of the greatest band ever.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

You gotta be kidding me...due to media syndication, I have to wait until 4 PM for this to start. Shit, I'll be making dinner at that time, since it's my day off. Now I have to watch a daytime talk show?
This and Kimmel...the torture of the perpetually devoted Van Halen fan continues in it's unglamorous (and vastly unacknowledged by the band) glory...if glory even applies.
